Gibson Firebird 2014 Vintage Sunburst

Item: GBDSF14VSCH1

Although the Firebird V 2014 visually stays true to auto designer Ray Dietrich’s original vision from the early 1960’s, this current edition has some cutting edge modern appointments. The original mini-humbuckers have been updated to employ high-output ceramic magnets in place of the Alnico originals. These give a brighter tone and higher-output. The banjo tuners have been replaced with gearless Steinberger 40:1 ratio machine heads for extreme tuning precision.

With its nitrocellulose Vintage Sunburst finish and traditional appointments such as the pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, beveled headstock with black central section, and Firebird pickguard motif, today's Firebird V has all the updates to make this unique looking solid body guitar fly into the modern age.
